Oh yeah, they went there! I am happy to see that someone is shedding more light on this.

Cut throat campaign is nothing new to politics, but this even surprises me. Obama wants to be President, yet made NO public effort to thwart this news story before it grew legs? I've seen the stories floating a few months, now the Texas GOP drives the point home. See foxnews full story here.

Brothers in Arms

From CNN.com, here is a touching story of 4 brothers in arms serving in Iraq!

Can you imagine the angst and worry of the family of these fine young men? The parents are Leon and Tammy Pruett of Idaho.

[cnn]Leon and the couple's fifth son, Eren, are just back from Iraq, and daughter Emily would have gone but had not completed her training when her brothers shipped out. The Pruetts feel it is their duty to serve, that other people in the world have a right to some of the freedoms and privileges Americans have. And, as Tammy Pruett says, "If not my sons, then whose?"[/cnn]

Here is an inspirational group gathered around and aiding in empowering esteem within high risk communities of San Francisco.

Backed by the San Francisco Aids Foundation, sfaf.org, Black Brothers Esteem is a support group for men who struggle with issues of HIV, racism, addiction, poverty, homophobia, violence and more.

There are weekly drop-in groups, multiple-session workshops, social events, leadership training, community development and ongoing activities. The site has many resources for download and related site links. Looks like a well founded and solid force in the community. Rock On!

Inspiration

The title of this blog may conjure up any number of meanings behind the name. One very obvious vision would be that this blog is about all things Philadelphia, but it is not, necessarily. I may post articles from time to time on Philadelphia, I may post articles on brothers of nations, I may write up about some brotherly love tryst from the latest hot spot in San Francisco and other times I may highlight soulful down home brotherly love of southern African American men.

My inspiration for creating this latest blog is from problogger.net. I just finished listening to an interview, that I was granted free access to by signing up for problogger's newsletter. In that interview, one of his techniques he tried at blogging, in the beginning, was he had about 30 different blogs going at a time to experiment on content, readership loyalty, advertising and statistical results of all his efforts in those blogs.

I draw a lot of inspiration, insight and guidance from problogger, as that is what his main focus blog is intended for now. Problogger is a how-to blog comprised mostly of articles for free reading and blogging growth. He also now earns quite a nice living Consulting, as his loyal readership often contact him for support - then he can charge!

Figuring 'Broblogger' must surely be wrangled by now, I tested the name for giggles and voila, I got it! I trust problogger wouldn't grumble at the fact my name is so close, because surely mine is an entirely different focus. Broblogger humbles by far in comparison to PB fame and, let's be honest, he may never even see this! So, wish me luck on my latest blog venture, and please do visit my already established blog: Falcon Says.
